What’s New February March 2011
SongBurst at Soboba!!! Look out! It’s SongBurst time again! Karaoke Scene is very proud to be presenting this year’s SongBurst singing competition at the Soboba Casino, “Where winning is just the beginning.” We are excited to have 2 fabulous radio stations on board for this event as well, X103.9, KCXX (The X)…an alternative rock radio station based out of San Bernardino and 101.3 KATY (The Mix)…an adult contemporary radio station based out of the Temecula Valley. These are great folks to work with and will help make “SongBurst at Soboba” a really terrific event.
The excitement begins on Monday, March 7th and continues every Monday for 4 weeks (March 14th, 21st and 28th.) This will be an adults only competition (all contestants must be 21 years of age by March 7th, 2011). Sign-ups will be from 6:30pm to 8pm. The competition will begin shortly after the sign-ups are closed. Due to time restrictions, we can only allow the first 30 contestants to arrive to sign-up and compete in that night’s competition. Sign up rules (and times) will be strictly enforced so please leave yourself plenty of time to get there.
There will be thousands in cash and prizes with $2,500 cash for first place awarded at the finals which will be held on Monday, April 4th. Not only that, but there will be more prizes raffled off during the competitions for which all in attendance (competitors and audience alike) will be eligible.
